Thrifted Change Purse

Just because I seem all sorts of fancy these days doesn’t mean I’ve lost my love of secondhand treasure hunting. Scoring an awesome thrift shop deal will always excite me far more than a new designer something or other :)

Fabulous finds are tougher to come by in Aarhus where there are more people shopping, but it still happens from time to time… my stepdaughter recently found a Mulberry handbag for 30 kr. (about $5), talk about being in the right place at the right time!

Maybe a bit less impressive, this adorable little change purse only set me back 10 kr. (less than $2). It’s lined with red satin plus I can easily fit a lipstick in the bottom… thrift shopping aarhus

Oh, how funny! I was given that very item on my wedding day — my best friend brought me lipstick because she knew I wouldn’t have any on hand! (I’m not girly enough a lot of the time…Just not very practical for my lifestyle working out in the weather & mud…)

Wildside and Sage, isn’t that the loveliest of serendipitous coincidences? What a small world in a very big online one! I’m rather smitten the sweet change purse too, though currently lack the girly, glam life for it. I’m a bit envious of your thrifting opps and skills. I have neither the time to devote nor tolerance for the mostly (IME) stale-smoke, mildewy shops… though I’ve scored a few cashmere sweaters in such places and more recently (and happily) on ebay. Just a tip if Aarhus can’t deliver on your thrift passion. ;)
